If this all seems too fantastic to our minds, that’s because in some ways, it is. It is first and foremost a spiritual battle—something our minds cannot comprehend. Secondly, it is hard to imagine that our lives and lifestyles could possibly change. But they can, and I believe they will for this generation.
However, once again, God’s timing is beyond human reckoning. How long it will take for these things to unfold is known by God alone. Our response should be what it always should be: a committed life of prayer, simplicity, and detachment in a spirit of poverty, humility, and love. Especially love, inebriated with the joy of knowing and serving Jesus! We should continue to live in the present moment, living to love and serve God and neighbour. It’s that simple.
In the meantime, we watch and pray, heeding all the things the Lord has foretold us in the Scriptures.
I have said all this to you to keep you from falling away… (John 16:1)
I see more martyrs, not now but in the future. I saw the secret sect (Masonry) relentlessly undermining the great Church. Near them I saw a horrible beast coming up from the sea. All over the world, good and devout people, especially the clergy, were harassed, oppressed, and put into prison. I had the feeling they would become martyrs one day.
When the Church had been for the most part destroyed by the secret sect, and when only the sanctuary and altar were still standing, I saw the wreckers enter the Church with the Beast. There, they met a woman of noble carriage who seemed to be with child, because she walked slowly. At this sight, the enemies were terrorized, and the Beast could not take but another stop forward. It projected its neck towards the Woman as if to devour her, but the Woman turned about and bowed down (towards the Altar), her head touching the ground. Thereupon I saw the Beast taking to flight towards the sea again and the enemies were fleeing in the greatest confusion. Then, I saw in the distance great legions approaching. In the foreground I saw a man on a white horse. Prisoners were set free and joined them. All the enemies were pursued. Then, I saw that the Church was being promptly rebuilt, and she was more magnificent than ever before.—Blessed Anna-Katharina Emmerich, May 13th, 1820; excerpted from Hope of the Wicked by Ted Flynn. p.156
